5 iconic outerwear pieces and how to style them From a timeless icon like the camel coat to the down "Puffer" jacket

At the court of Versailles, the cloak was considered one of the three symbols of power - besides the scepter and the crown of course. It was therefore not a garment bound to the fashions of the time, but an absolute value that indicated the supremacy of tradition and the king. In the so-called society of labels, keeping the king's cloak was in fact a highly sought-after function, and even princes - whether they were of blood or foreigners - to crown officers, dukes and all those who were part of the king's circle, were granted the use of the cloak only on certain occasions.

Today, wearing a cloak is no longer an action linked to a ceremonial, and whether it is a vintage piece by Yves Saint Laurent or a more current Celine by Hedi Slimane (Fall 2020), the cloak is considered an outerwear in all respects, probably representative of a bold fashion statement. This is what any outerwear piece is, isn't it?
